Simple Compost


Forget about digging compost pits. Or magic microorganisms which cost you! If you have a garden compost pile and you don't know what to do about it simply separate the branches away from the degradable ones, such us leaves, peelings, shoots. Make a heap of it. Simply water the compost everyday and continue to turn it inside out. You will need a hayfork to do the job. The compost may give off odour for a while-but its how it is. The microorganisms around your own environment are actually doing the job for you-cost free. And well, they give off this odour 'effect' as they 'churn' the debris . In 8 weeks time, as you keep continue watering it and turning it over, you will achieve a fine good compost. Try it!!
Note : please do not include branches or sticks or wood-these have cellulose and microorganisms need a long time to break them down.
